Hello Gary,Just to inform you that I have done 2 deals recently through ICI! It is, no doubt, the best online site in Canada for real estate – especially commercial. I’ve already sold:
“Bargain Shop” – in an extremely remote and small Northern Ontario area through ICI – another realtor saw my posting and come up with her client’s offer that has now been accepted.
Retirement Home in Niagara Falls – I contacted the owner who posted his ad on ICI – but was not able to sell on its own – the buyer saw it through my web-site and the deal has gone through – that was an example of using ICI and redirecting info through another marketing source.
I also got in touch with numerous investors and realtors through your website and most likely there will be more deals as a direct, or indirect, result of it.
Best Regards,
Leo Hara

A Century 21 Broker listed an office building exclusively for $1,650,000. Within 2-3 weeks of placing it on ICIWorld he received about 20 calls. He ended up selling it to a principal who had seen it on ICIWorld. Total commission was approximately $45,000. Some of these other buyers he is now working with.

He has had about six deals resulting from connections both directly and indirectly as a result of ICIWorld. He has sold a restaurant business, a triplex, he has leased half an office building over 6,500 sq. ft., for example and several more.

He says it is the easiest and most efficient method for both brokers and potential clients to find suitable investments for their clients. It certainly complements what is on his real estate board and fits together working side by side with his real estate board.

Steve Evans, Associate Broker, Century 21 “I just wanted to inform you that your system has enhanced my ability to secure Listings. When I show my clients that I have all these purchaser’s waiting to buy their property, they are quick to list their property or business with me. The fact that the Network has major players in the ICI Industry give the Network credibility. The bonus is to the public as they can also access the information. Glad to be aboard!”

Anand (“Nand”) Murthy | MBA, CSSM, Statue RE Investments & Solutions just informed me he did two deals this last year as a result of ICIWorld.

John Gallagher, Associate Broker, Blair Blanchard Stapleton Limited. A large hotel trust had tried numerous methods to sell one of their landmark Toronto hotels without any success for over TWO years. Using our proprietary marketing methods which included Gary’s ICIWorld we were able to get the property under contract within 85 days. Not bad for a $21,500,000 property that was a fixer upper!

A Century 21 Sales Rep. placed a campground on the service and had it on for six months and received over 40 calls.

Bruce Cooke, CCIM, Commercial Sales Representative, Royal LePage ProAlliance Realty reports selling a $4,200,000 apartment building and an $800,000 office building. The buyer from Europe saw it on the Internet on ICIWorld and from all the information and the pictures made an offer subject to inspection. He flew over to see it, did his due diligence and bought it. Of course there is a lot of work, correspondence and developing of a good long term business relationship that made it all happen. The ICIWorld connection played a small but vital role in making the connection to benefit everyone.

The buyer ended up buying a multiplex in Leamington Ontario through a broker member. $3.2M in 2017. Looking for more. He is placing his Want in Database 2 FSBO’s.
